Premas Biotech, the representative of Illumina in India launched super high throughput sequencer from Illumina called HySeq 2000.
The HySeq 2000 is primarily intended for users whose project demand the highest throughput at shortest time. This will be a 200GB per run platform with data generation up to 25 GB per day and two billion paired-end reads per run.
The HySeq is using 4 cameras and state of the art line scanning method. The result of all this high end optics and electronics is that the cost of the system is also much higher than the GAIIx but this will translate to the lowest cost per run, where it’s estimated that the cost to sequence a human genome at 30x coverage will be about $10,000.
